Must be the time of year for me.

I almost caved last night, not sure what the hell is going on but the last few days the craving's have been horrible. No dip dreams. My wife actually talked me out of it and it wasnÂ’t easy but I can guarantee that if she wouldnÂ’t of been involved in my quit and read some of the stuff on here she probably wouldnÂ’t of been successful.

I was in the garage getting in the truck to drive up to the gas station I had made up my mind that I couldnÂ’t quit any longer and that chewing was a void in my life I needed to fill. I have this urge in the evening's, that I need something to take the edge off. It use to be chew when things got stressful but I havenÂ’t found a replacement yet. Sorry for the vent it just made me think that staying away from the site might of been a bad thing.

Kind of stayed away from the site for awhile with the mentality that out of site out of mine was what I needed. I may need to rethink that.

DD3...I think you need to show up in our quit group every morning for a few weeks, pal. Consider it. (Plus, we miss you.)

DON'T APPOLOGIZE!

The reason we are here is so you can vent to us... So you don't cave!

You want to bitch about your life or call me every name in the book, fine... so long as you stay quit!!!

You did the right thing brother. No need to waste all of your hard work up until now on some shitty dip. You just gotta keep beating it everyday and stay quit.

Whoa, I would definitely rethink that. If you came that close to caving, I'd say a daily promise + at this site is what the doctor ordered.

It is obviously not out of sight/out of mind, right?

Day 172 the last few weeks on and off have felt like day 7-10 all over again.

Hell, I went weeks without even thinking about dip. Then one night I have a crave dream that I had bought a tin of Skoal Fine Cut. Never did open the can in my dream but I kept caring it around with me in my right front pocket. Just like the old days. I woke up wanting a dip so bad and to break a seal on a fresh can. Crazy shit I thought I was past it all. Not so!

Rock on July!

One day at a time is a great approach

Don't get complacent

Have a quit plan in place when that monster crave hits and pushes you to the brink. 

I'll help you however I can in your quit DD3.

Remember this motherfucker? I had him pegged for a useless piece of shit the second he showed up. Caving asshole. He was a big fucking help to you, wasn't he, DD3?

dude that's hilarious, first thing i noticed too when I went back in DD's thread was Gooch's posts. I also remember right away thinking this dude was a turd. I don't particularly think chronic cavers have the right to come back and instantaneously spout their "wisdom" right away. he didnt shut up from day 1.

Just read back through this intro and was amazed at how much of the stuff that I had forgotten about.

I can say two things about this:

1. It gets better and sometimes its a little questionable how much better it really is at the time, but for me each stage was easier then the one before it.

2. Damn! I dont want to go back to day 1 or even day 10.

This site is a game changer!

Well today is day 55 and things are looking pretty good.

The one nagging issue I still contend with is this anger issue. I am getting better at controlling it and it seems to be less frequent. Yet when I get pissed look the hell out who knows how long I will go off. Like I said its happening less often but is still too often for my liking. I have come to the conclusion that the cause of the anger for me is that I canÂ’t have something I want (dip/obvisously) so like a bitch I get pissed at the first issue I am faced with. Like I said earlier I think am getting better with this as my mood seems to rebound a little quicker then it was.

The craves seem to be less intense not as many as I was having say 20-30 days ago. It amazes me how one day can be a total shit hole the next can be a complete 360 turn around.

I am exercising (mountain biking) almost daily and seems to be helping burn off the stress.

So hang in there guys and keep taking it one day at a time!

Just left the Dentist office a few minutes ago. Everything checked out good. She did say that I still have a little Leukoplakia still sticking around on one side of my mouth but didnÂ’t seem to concerned about it. What a relief that was since I havenÂ’t been to the Dentist in a few years and my wife even works there.



FUCK THE NIC BITCH!

Big Dippa: You've been here long enough to know that we are all a bit more gay now than before we started here.

Dan: I am not the shadow. Not this time.

DD3: I'm really happy to still have you among the July brethren

[DanTheMan]

1. Dan, you do not have sex for even one minute. You and I both know that.

You have first hand knowledge? Just sayin'.... sounds homorific!

Unless Dean is that big dark shadow with pants around the ankles by the tree outside my bedroom window,,,,,I don't think he has any first hand knowledge,,,but he is right,,,I should have been honest and replaced "ol lady" with "milfhunter.com"

[Donedippin3]

no cave here...i did go take a look at what you were talking about but its not me.

2. I just got nervous that DD3 caved. (See August group...'Done12'...I thought that was some cutesy way of DD3 saying he caved.){
